Re: [clug-talk] Fedora Core 2-test2 Released!

[Niels Voll]

I had a brief tested the first test release 1, when it appeared in early 
March. Of course, it had a few rough spots regarding package 
dependencies, but overall it made me want to get the final very soon 
after it came out. What immediately struck me, was that what used to be 
the RHN updating for RH9, is now a slick updater for Fedora Core 2. 
Reminds me a lot of SuSE's very nice YAST2 updating mechanism. And yum 
(the command line updater) is included in FC 2 (it was not included in 
FC 1, and one had to get it separately).

In addition, it seems that Fedora Core is gaining momentum and becoming 
quite nicely supported by 3rd party rpm packagers.

For the desktop:
In my very personal, subjective opinion, I still rank SuSE ahead of FC 
for the desktop. Haven't tried a recent Mandrake, so I can't comment - 
it may be as sweet, as long as Mandrake survives.
FC is probably the cat's meow for people, who have long had RH as their 
favorite distro.
And FC is very nice for people, who want a close match to what many 
hosting service providers are running.

For the server:
RH was/is a bit of an industry standard on hosting service providers. So 
if you run your own server, but would like your knowledge and 
configurations easily transferable to many  HSP's, Fedora Core is a very 
good option.

What are your thoughts on the release of Fedora Core 2-test2?  Is anyone
planning to test it?  If I can get my hands on a suitable computer, I
will.  Sadly, it's still a bit over a month before the stable version is
released...
